Fabbed Aluminum intake.. Where to put MAP and brake booster hose As the title says.. I bought a fabbed aluminum intake manifold for my boosted build and I'm trying to figure out where/how I can mount the map sensor and power brake booster hose.. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Bump for more info.. I know someone has a solution.. Remote mount the map? And hook the brake booster hose to the 1/4" NPT fitting under the intake? Drill a hole in the back for the whole map/brake booster assembly to go into?

For the MAP, you can use anywhere in the plenum.
For convenience probably stay at the back where the
harness already goes. You could remote it with some
hose but you want to take off from the plenum, not
an individual runner.
Seems like you could either get someone to weld on
a bung, or just drill for a bulkhead pipe fitting and
tee off as much as you need to.
I think pulling the MAP and booster separately will help
prevent weird mixture bumping at brake apply. Maybe
some value in separate fittings rather than a single
with a tee.
